they could discuss it out of
court - or to the court in any case
where they were appearing. I
refused to call [previous word struck through] issue an open {venire} to fill the
jury or to hear him - upon the
conceded ground that his was
a mere attempt to thrust his
advice - unasked - upon the court
at a time when he had nothing
before the court & no right to be
heard. He asked to be heard as
amicus curie or "friend of the court"
& I declined - upon the ground that
I did not need any advice at that
time. He finally gave up & sat
down - surprised, cornered, but
malicious. About the next
time he offers his impudence
to the court I will give him
something to remember.
